Setting up a development environment

Setting up a development environment for Sync consists of cloning the main repository and running a make. Before you do this make sure you have:

• Python 2.6 (default under Debuntu, python26 under CentOS)
• Python 2.6 headers (python2.6-dev under Debuntu, python26-devel under CentOS)
• python26-profiler under Ubuntu
• Mercurial
• Distribute
• Virtualenv

Then run:

$ hg clone http://hg.mozilla.com/services/server-full
$ cd server-full
$ make build

Once this is done, you can do a sanity check by running all tests:

$ make test
